- Identify property-related risks and issues on projects, escalating unresolved risks to the Principal Property Advisor.
- Manage the day-to-day performance of the property supply chain, (professional valuers, surveyors and solicitors) to ensure compliance with due process and governance.

**To be successful you’ll need;**
- Experience of contract/supplier management
- A good understanding of planning procedures for large infrastructure projects
- Ideally a qualified surveyor or paralegal or working towards a similar status. Alternatively, good and successful experience working on the client-side of major projects dealing with related issues.
